An observation I have made over the past six or so years since I started to get involved with the debate around creationism and Evolution, many things have happened such as my deconversion.
At no point was I ever really a creationist, but at a certain point early on, most creationist arguments had some appeal or stumping value.
However, as the years passed, my knowledge grew. My understanding of science grew, my reasoning abilities matured(and still are, obviously), my knowledge on theology got better and I was being increasingly desensitized to "offending" ridicule of religion and pseudo-science(thanks TJ, Carlin and many others).
I just recently became 18. Reflecting, I've probably had hundreds of arguments within these fields. At a certain point I noticed that I've had almost all of the various arguments thrown in my face; so much that I now have tongue-in-cheek arguments for most of them.
Over time I've realized that it is like arguing with children. Grown children!
But they hold no sway over me anymore. None of them impress me, and my pulse doesn't increase one bit(it certainly used to).
I have simply come above them, bluntly put.
And just recently, I found a song that expresses my recently formed thoughts on this matter:
